  • Application to the Flight
    Journal name 000(00):1–13 A Methodology for Vehicle and Mission ©The Author(s) 2010 Reprints and permission: Level Comparison of More Electric sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI:doi number Aircraft Subsystem Solutions - Application http://mms.sagepub.com to the Flight Control Actuation System Imon Chakraborty∗ and Dimitri N. Mavris† Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332, USA Mathias Emeneth‡ and Alexander Schneegans§ PACE America Inc., Seattle, WA 98115, USA Abstract As part of the More Electric Initiative, there is a significant interest in designing energy-optimized More Electric Aircraft, where electric power meets all non-propulsive power requirements. To achieve this goal, the aircraft subsystems must be analyzed much earlier than in the traditional design process. This means that the designer must be able to compare competing subsystem solutions with only limited knowledge regarding aircraft geometry and other design characteristics. The methodology presented in this work allows such tradeoffs to be performed, and is driven by subsystem requirements definition, component modeling and simulation, identification of critical or constraining flight conditions, and evaluation of competing architectures at the vehicle and mission level. The methodology is applied to the flight control actuation system, where electric control surface actuators are likely to replace conventional centralized hydraulics in future More Electric Aircraft. While the potential benefits of electric actuation are generally accepted, there is considerable debate regarding the most suitable electric actuator - electrohydrostatic or electromechanical. These two actuator types form the basis of the competing solutions analyzed in this work, which focuses on a small narrowbody aircraft such as the Boeing 737-800.

  • Propeller Operation and Malfunctions Basic Familiarization for Flight Crews
    PROPELLER OPERATION AND MALFUNCTIONS BASIC FAMILIARIZATION FOR FLIGHT CREWS INTRODUCTION The following is basic material to help pilots understand how the propellers on turbine engines work, and how they sometimes fail. Some of these failures and malfunctions cannot be duplicated well in the simulator, which can cause recognition difficulties when they happen in actual operation. This text is not meant to replace other instructional texts. However, completion of the material can provide pilots with additional understanding of turbopropeller operation and the handling of malfunctions. GENERAL PROPELLER PRINCIPLES Propeller and engine system designs vary widely. They range from wood propellers on reciprocating engines to fully reversing and feathering constant- speed propellers on turbine engines. Each of these propulsion systems has the similar basic function of producing thrust to propel the airplane, but with different control and operational requirements. Since the full range of combinations is too broad to cover fully in this summary, it will focus on a typical system for transport category airplanes - the constant speed, feathering and reversing propellers on turbine engines. Major propeller components The propeller consists of several blades held in place by a central hub. The propeller hub holds the blades in place and is connected to the engine through a propeller drive shaft and a gearbox. There is also a control system for the propeller, which will be discussed later. Modern propellers on large turboprop airplanes typically have 4 to 6 blades. Other components typically include: The spinner, which creates aerodynamic streamlining over the propeller hub. The bulkhead, which allows the spinner to be attached to the rest of the propeller.

  • Setting up Ailerons and Flaperons on a DLG (Discus Launch Glider) by Andy Kunz
    Setting up Ailerons and Flaperons on a DLG (Discus Launch Glider) by Andy Kunz Originally Posted by kgantz: While waiting for parts to be delivered I am still reading a lot about how to initially set up ailerons / flaperons. One of the best descriptions I've found is this post in the DLG forum. After reading this post, I understand that flaperon trim and aileron trim are handled separately by the radio. This is not obvious to people who have not done this before but, I guess because you are working with 1 moving surface but it has 2 jobs, trimming has to work a little differently for each job! So now my question is, on the Spektrum radios-- DX 9 in my case, is the aileron portion of the adjustment done with Dual Rates as suggested by the poster or is there a different way. Reply by AndyKunz: The logic is that one is a roll trim, the other is a camber trim. You'll find that we're pretty consistent with that sort of thing throughout the radio. Use the Dual Rates to adjust travel based on a switch, for instance in launch mode vs. thermal mode vs. landing mode. If it doesn't need to change based on a switch, do it with Servo Travel instead of Dual Rates. If you are working on a V-Tail or Elevon model, then you would use Dual Rates to adjust the ratio between pitch and roll/yaw. Use Servo Travel to adjust the maximum amount in the highest position of the Dual Rates switch.

  • An Investigation of the Effects of Flaperon Actuator Failure on Flight Maneuvers of a Supersonic Aircraft
    Research Paper ISSN 2383-4986 International Journal of Aerospace System Engineering http://dx.doi.org/10.20910/IJASE.2016.3.2.1 Vo l . 3, No.2, pp.1-8 (2016) An Investigation of the Effects of Flaperon Actuator Failure on Flight Maneuvers of a Supersonic Aircraft Seyool Oh1†, Inje Cho1, Craig McLaughlin2 1Aircraft Research & Development Division, Korea Aerospace Industries, ltd, KOREA 2Dept. of Aerospace Engineering, The University of Kansas U.S.A. †E-mail:[email protected] Abstract The improvements in high performance and agility of modern fighter aircraft have led to improvements in survivability as well. Related to these performance increases are rapid response and adequate deflection of the control surfaces. Most control surface failures result from the failure of the actuator. Therefore, the failure and behavior of the actuators are essential to both combat aircraft survivability and maneuverability. In this study, we investigate the effects of flaperon actuator failure on flight maneuvers of a supersonic aircraft. The flight maneuvers were analyzed using six degrees of freedom (6DOF) simulations. This research will contribute to improvements in the reconfiguration of control surfaces and control allocation in flight control algorithms. This paper compares the results of these 6DOF simulations with the horizontal tail actuator failures analyzed previously. Key Words : Flaperon, Actuator failure, Flight maneuver, Supersonic aircraft , Combat aircraft only for specific flight phases. Primary control 1. Introduction surfaces are generally built into the aircraft wings In the past, combat aircraft were designed using the and empennage. Typical primary controls include concept of static stability for safety. However, as the elevators on the horizontal tail, rudder on the technologies of aircraft developed and the vertical tail, and ailerons on the wings [3].
